Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a United Reformed church and adjoining hall, built in 1855-56. It was later refitted around 1945 following bomb damage, with mid-20th century additions. The building was designed by Flockton & Son and is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings, featuring a steep-pitched slate roof. It is built in the Gothic Revival style.

The church’s plan incorporates a chancel, a nave with a clerestory, aisles, a south-west tower with a spire, a vestry, and elders' rooms, along with an attached hall. Throughout the exterior, pointed arch windows are a defining characteristic. The church displays a chamfered plinth, buttresses, coped gables, and windows with hoodmoulds. The west gable of the nave stands out with a five-light window displaying Geometrical tracery, a sillband, and three smaller lancets below. The south aisle features three three-light windows with Geometrical tracery and flat heads. The north aisle, with four bays, includes similar windows and a moulded doorway with single shafts and a crocketed gable to the right.

The three-stage south-west tower has gabled diagonal buttresses and string courses. The first stage features a moulded doorway with shafts and a crocketed gable with a finial to the west. The canted second stage incorporates chamfered diagonal buttresses and a single slit window to the east. The bell stage is an octagonal lantern with eight steep-gabled lancet openings, topped with an octagonal spire containing two tiers of lucarnes with cusped trefoil openings. The two-storey vestry and elders' rooms have a lancet window and a five-light flat-headed mullioned window on the north side. A segment-headed, chamfered doorway dated 1856 is situated below, accompanied by two two-light mullioned windows to its right. The entrance to the hall, located on the south-east side, is a moulded Tudor-style doorway inscribed with "St Andrew's Hall."

Inside, the chancel features a triple rebated arch with a hoodmould and triple shaft imposts, along with a flat ceiling. The nave showcases three-bay arcades with chamfered arches and octagonal piers with foliate capitals. It also features a flat ceiling and plain clerestory windows. A 20th century gallery is at the west end, complete with segmental pointed doors at each end. The aisles have lean-to roofs with struts and tracery, along with segmental pointed doors at both east and west ends. The hall has an arch braced roof, now ceiled.

Fittings include stained glass windows dated 1963 by Donald Robertson, and another from 1962. An octagonal oak font from 1941 and other fittings dating to 1953 are also present. Memorials include a marble war memorial tablet in a Classical wooden surround.

Outside, a coursed squared stone terrace wall with chamfered coping supports a spiked wrought-iron railing with an off-centre gate, located at the west end.
